Seniors Sponsor
Frolic April 17
An all-school frolic, sponsored
by the senior class, is set for
Thursday night, April 17, at 7:30.
The college gym, to be decorated
with streamers and balloons, will
be the scene for the gay affair
called by the senior class an "all
school carnival."
According to Bernie Hogan, sen-ior
class president, the affair will
be non-profit—an "informal night
of fun for all." Booths will be set
up for participation in various
games of skill. Hotdogs, candy
bars, taffy apples, and pop-corn
will be sold.
There will be no general admis-sion
charge but each activity will
cost a small sum payable in tickets
which will be sold to everyone as
they need.
As a highlight for the evening
will be an entertainment program
put on by the senior class and
faculty members.
Committee members for the
event are senior class members
Bernie Hogan, Ruth Martinson,
Lois Redin, Eleanor Johnson, Mar-garet
Fridberg, Rueben Johnson,
Dave Washburn, arid Ronald Nel-son.
BWA Highlights Year
With Formal Banquet
"Springtime" is the theme of the
annual BWA spring formal ban-quet
which will be held Wednes-day,
April 30, at 7:00 p.m. in the
dining hall.
Testimonies by the graduating
sophomores and seniors, a tradi-tional
part of the spring banquet
program, will again highlight the
evening. The new officers will be
installed in an impressive candle-light
service and special music will
be included in the program.
General Chairman of the event
is Carol Bessey with Florence Oh-man,
Florence Jacobsen, and Han-nah
Plaut assisting.
Speech Winners
Will Receive
C ash Awards
Do April showers bring May
flowers? If so, then April awards
bring May rewards. The Bethel
Speech department announces two
speech contests for the near future.
The Dr. Martin Ericsson awards
of fifteen dollars and ten dollars
each will be given to the first and
second place winners in the prose-poetry
reading contest. Selections
may be taken from more than one
poet or author. The length of read-ings
may vary from five to seven
minutes. The script is to be read
and not memorized. It is hoped
that many •students will register
for the contest before April 11.
The Dr. Alford Hanson awards
of twenty-five dollars, fifteen dol-lars
and ten dollars will be given
to the first three winners of the
oratory contest. The topic may be
some aspect of any theme that
has current national significance.
The writing shall be the original
work of the speaker. Ten minutes
speaking time is allowed. To enter
the contest, students should see
Mr. Schultz about their plans be-fore
April 11. The script for the
orations should be ready to file
with the speech department by
April 18.
The date for the preliminary
contests is Thtirsday evening, April
24. The final contest is set for
April 25. Each entrant may re-ceive
instructional guidance from
the speech faculty.
In the card catalogue, in a file
drawer marked Slide Filmstrips,
can be found titles to the films
available. Several films in the
"Life of Joseph" series will por-tray
Joseph's purchase by the Eg-yptians,
his imprisonment, his
dreams come true, his revealing
himself to his brothers, and his
reunion with his family. Of partic-ular
help to church organizations
is the filmstrip entitled "How to
Lead a Discussion." For Christian
training, films such as "Reading
Your Bible," "Rescue of the Per-ishing,"
"Story of the Sunday
School," or "Take Your Family to
Sunday School," will be of help.
Much historical knowledge can be
found in the "Two Thousand Years
Ago" series having separate films
entitled "The Travelers," "Syna-gogue
and Passion," "Day's Work,"
"The School," and "The Home."
Reservations for films can be
made with the clerk in charge
at the check out desk in the lib-rary.
No film projector is furnish-ed
with the films. Regulations for
the use of the films have not been
rigidly set as yet however it is
generally expected that no film
strip be checked out until the day
it is to be used and they must be
returned promptly, the day follow-ing
their use.
According to Russell Baus-tian,
Student Council president,
donations totaling $30.60 were
given by Bethel students in the
recent Red Cross fund raising
campaign. The money was col-lected
by student red-cross rep-resentatives
in the dormatories.
The money has been turned
over to the St. Paul Chapter
of the American Red Cross.
B Club Advises
Nickname Change
Two free tickets to the J. S. Ban-quet
this spring is the award for
the Bethelite who gives the best
suggestion for a new Bethel nick-name.
Last Monday in the chapel the
"B" Club annouced that the school
will change its nickname as well
as colors for the following reasons:
Application for entry into some
Minnesota college athletic confer-ence
will soon be made; a more
appropriate name than "Indians"
is wanted so as to be more repre-sentative
of Bethel activities; the
colors red and white are not dis-tinctive
enough and are quite com-mon
among Minnesota colleges.
All students are asked to partici-pate
in the contest to give Bethel
a new name to represent school
activities. Friday, April 18, 10:30
a.m. is the final time for entries.
Entrants are required to writ
their selections on the blanks pro-vided
them in chapel, and include
their name and the date and time
the entry is made. All entries are
to be put in the ballot box provid-ed
for them in the hall in front of
the chapel. Entry blanks are avail-able
at the ballot box.
Male Chorus Plans
Mich. Tour In May
The Male Chorus will make an
eight day spring tour into Michi-gan
May 3 to 10. The following
itinerary is tentative. Their first
appearance will be at Ashland,
Wisconsin, Saturday night, May 3.
On Sunday, May 4, they sing at
churches at Ironwood, Iron Moun-tain,
and Iron River. Monday they
visit Manistique; Tuesday, Luding-ton;
Wednesday, Cadillac; Thurs-day,
Muskegon; Escanaba, Friday.
A program for the Saturday they
return is yet to be arranged.
Choir Makes Record
For Sale on Tour
Using the library as a recording
studio March 25 and 31, the Chapel
Choir recorded three selections
which will be cut on 12-inch rec-ords
and sold on the choir's Calif-ornia
tour and at the Centennial
Conference in June.
"The Word Believing", Sateren,
is recorded on one side and "Draw
Me Nearer, Nearer My God, to
Thee", W. H. Doane and , Lowell
Mason, a capella arrangement by
Soderstrom, and "The Lord Bless
You and Keep You", Lutkin, are
on the other side of the record.
The oratorio consists of tenor
and bass recitatives and solos,
"Could Ye Not Watch," "He Made
Himself of no Reputation," "King
ever glorious," with the choir
singing the choruses, "Fling Wide
the Gates," "From the Throne"
and also several hymns, "Cross of
Jesus," "God So Loved the World,"
and "Jesus the Crucified."
Composed of students of the col-lege
and seminary and members
of various Twin City Conference
churches, the choir has been prac-ticing
every Monday evening for
about 10 weeks. This is the second
performance by the Oratorio Choir,
the first one being the Christmas
portion of the "Messiah" by Han-del
given in December.
26 Submit Entries
In Tract Contest
Herb Hage, seminary junior, in
charge of the tract contest spon-sored
by the Religious Council, is
happy about the response in the
number of tracts submitted. The
deadline date and time, midnight
last Friday, was too late for him
to stay up, said Herb, but when
he emptied the entry box in the
college building early Saturday
morning, the number of entries
totalled 26. They were all sizes and
descriptions and in general "look-ed
good" Herb continued.
The entries were turned over to
the judges Monday and the results
will be annouced after Easter va-cation.
Judging the entries are Dr.
Virginia Lowell, head of the Eng-lish
Department, Clifford Larson,
assistant professor of religious ed
ucation, and Miss Esther Sabel, as-sistant
professor of Bible. First,
second, and third place winners
will be awarded twenty, ten, and
five dollars respectively.

Library Adds Film Strip Collection
As Service to Faculty and Students
A recent service feature added to the library is a collection of
film strips which are available to any student or faculty member for
use in church work or in campus activities. The films and manuals
with scripts telling how to use them can be checked out without charge
at the check-out desk in a manner similar to that of checking out
books.

i generally don't share my mail with students for they don't understand my language
but since this is election year and i may run for office i better present my platform
now. here's a letter i received.
Dear Smorgy, my worthy successor and fellow-Indian,
Horrible and terrifying was my dream last night, Smorgy, hence this Special
Delivery - Air Mail letter to you. Here it is: It was Homecoming Weekend, 1952. I
arrived too late to take part inth e Annual colorful red and white parade from the
Campus down Snelling Avenue to Highland Stadium. Arriving by streetcar from the
Bus Depot, I dug up the usual ticket fee to buy my ticket. "Sorry" said the person
selling tickets, "the price is $11.75 now!" Reluctantly (and broke) I paid her, asking
why the increase. She said, "You'll see" Smorgy, I did see it and it was horrible,
positively awful. I thought I was at the wrong game. I had on my old Bethel sweater,
proudly displaying by "B"-letter, my red and white pom-pom in my hand, an old
one from years ago. I ascended the bleachers, lost, in a maze of uninspiring green
and gold. Searching and bewildered I finally spied Marty the Moth, an old Alumnus
of my Bethel days. He broke the news to me, sitting there on his old Bethel sweater
to hide the old colors. He didn't want to appear old-fashioned, with the old Red and
White. I took mine off too, and threw my pom-pom away, they looked so out of place.
Marty said that the school had changed the colors (at quite an expense I suppose, all
those new uniforms) and also changed the team name to the "Caterpillars". They
looked it. Bethel men in their hideous striped uniforms lay sprawled and squashed
on the field. None of the old Bethel "Indian" fight in that team in their green and
gold. I asked Marty about the $11.75 item. He said it cost quite a bit to make the
change-over so the ticket price was affected. It seemed only last week I got a letter
asking for a new pledge. Smorgy, I was sure glad when I woke up to find that it
was only a nightmare and not the truth. But it sure made me think. Well, I'll close
for now. See you next Homecoming signed "Archie, the Cochroach". Bethel '48.
if ever i become one of the alumni i hope i don't have this experience.
New Chinese Student Praises Bethel
by Gaylie Palmer
Easter Bunny Visits Bethel
by Nancy Schnorr
'Tis early Easter morning at Bethel and as usual, I, the Easter bunny am busily
trying to find places to hide my many brightly, colored eggs. My first stop is room
104 in the Bodien residence. "Ah! I thought, this will be quite easy. With desks and
chairs piled three feet high and inches of dust on just everything, 'twill be simple
as anything to hide my eggs."
The next stop is right next door at Flossie's room and just what could be better
than an egg in each cow-bell. It wasn't quite as easy as I thought though because I
had to remove all of the straw and other things which were acquired on Flossie's last
Gospel Team assignment before I could put the eggs in the bells. In room 103 'twas
quite simple, too. 'Twas quite easy to hide a few small eggs among all of the snake-skins,
pigeon-feet, wolf-heads, clam-shells, etc.
Anne Larson seems to be so blind that I think that I could hide the eggs in the
middle of the floor and she wouldn't see them. After all, anyone who can't even find
a missing mattress certainly wouldn't be able to find a few, small Easter eggs.
After finishing my task in the girls dorm, I advanced to the Edgren residence.
My first stop there was at Deac's room. Among all of the many kinds of flora it was
quite easy to hide an egg or two. I thought perhaps I could hide some of my eggs in
the scrub-pails and other cleaning implements, but on investigating the rooms, I
decided that the eggs might spoil and decay before they were found there.
In closing I just leave this one last word with you. If you don't find any loot from
the Easter Bunny, just do your spring house-cleaning.

Who hath believed our message? and to
whom hath the arm of Jehovah been re-vealed?
For he grew up before him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness; and when
we see him, there is no beauty that we
should desire him.
He was despised, and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows and acquainted with grief:
and as one from whom men hide their
face he was despised; and we esteemed
him not.
... But he was wounded for our transgres-sions,
he was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed.
... He was oppressed, yet when he was
afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a
lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a
sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so
he opened not his mouth.
... Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt
make his soul an offering for sin, he shall
see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and
the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in
his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and
shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of him-self
shall my righteous servant justify
many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with
the great, and he shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because he poured out
his soul unto death, and was numbered
with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin
of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors. ISAIAH 53.
Where's Bethel's ColoySense
by Ann Radunz
The school is contemplating on changing
its colors. I'm all for it, but the shades of
green and gold which hung from the screen
in chapel Monday morning are, in this
writer's opinion, Ghastly.
There are many reasons why I do not
particularly care for these combinations.
In the first place I do not like gold for a
school color. It looks too gaudy, especially
when mixed with a primary or secondary
color such as green is. According to my
knowledge of colors, a shade of purple or
blue is the only color that blends especially
well with gold. Even this depends on the
gold. With a yellow-gold, purple would be
used, and with an orange-gold, blue. How-ever,
I do not advocate either of these
combinations.
Another resentment towards green and
gold is that such horrid combinations may
be put together. A dark green with a bright,
deep gold, is too heavy, too majestic, where-as
a light green wouldn't be very effect-tive.
It has too much yellow in it, which is
what constitutes most gold coloring, and the
yellows, in varying shades and intensities
would undoubtedly conflict.
Just because some institutions seem to
be devoid of a color sense when they choose
their colors doesn't mean that we should
follow in their footsteps.
With a secondary color such as green, I
would recommend a lighter, less intense
hue. To me, green and grey seem to be
ideal colors. What do you think about it?
Have you any better ideas? Let's hear about
them. The school colors are as important
the name, so let's make them good!
em5 of Tbougbt
by President Wingblade
The late William Jennings Bryan was one
of the greatest orators of recent decades.
At the age of thirty-five, "the boy orator
of the Platte" so stirred the Democratic
convention with his "cross of gold" speech
that he was nominated, almost by accla-mation,
for the presidency. Indeed, he was
a presidential candidate three times—and
he served as Secretary of State under Wood-row
Wilson.
But more than that, Mr. Bryan was a
great Christian. He was one who loved the
Word of God. His debate with the infidel
lawyer, Clarence Darrow, rang across the
land.
I heard Mr. Bryan at a University of
Minnesota covocation tell of his trip around
the world and how he brought back from
the pyramids of Egypt a handful of wheat
kernels, that he was told had lain on those
shelves for many centuries. He took them
back to his farm in Nebraska and planted
them in the soil, and they sprouted and
grew and brought manifold fruitage.
Then Mr. Bryan said: "If God could in-still
a life in those little kernels that would
remain through the long centuries and
then in the soil sprout forth and flourish
with rich fruitage—can He not impart to
His own, eternal life that evermore shall
be?"
These days we are reminded in a special
way of the resurrection of Christ and of
the promise of God, to raise up those who
are identified with Him.
When a sinner is born again, there is
a resurrection that takes place in his heart
and life. "The spirit answers to the blood
and tells me I am born of God."
Then, for those who die in the Lord,
there is a promise of the redemption of
the body: "The same spirit which raised
up Jesus from the dead will quicken your
mortal body."
How glorious then to contemplate that
we do have a risen Lord, even in this
world, who lives within our hearts and is
able to make us more than conquerors in
every situation. There—is true freedom and
victory, for "He has led captivity captive."
But the condition is that we be identified
with Him by faith and through the living
Spirit.
From Death Unto Life
by Mary Radunz
The still black night was broken only by
an occasional streak of lightning, followed
by a deafening clap of thunder; a soft
rain fell silently from the starless sky. In
the dim light one could see a hill and on
that hill three crosses. A sudden flash of
lightning outlined them against the sky.
Over the middle cross was a sign ... "This
is Jesus, King of the Jews." Another flash
of lightning illuminated the middle cross
in a pale blue, unearthly light. Nailed to
it was a Man; blood streamed from the
wounds in His hands and feet. Upon His
head was a crown of thorns, cutting into
the flesh; on His face and body was the
spit of a mocking throng, and upon His
shoulders lay the sins of a wicked world.
The sinister black night appeared to be
one of defeat. If so, the defeat was but a
stepping-stone to victory ...
The rays of the morning sun fell pleas-antly
upon the fresh green earth. Some-where
a bird chirped merrily; a light
breeze stirred the bright spring flowers
in the grass. Nearby was a rock-hewn tomb,
with a huge stone rolled to one side of the
door. The tomb was empty. The earth
seemed at peace, and there was a note of
triumph in the air. In the calm of that
morning, one could feel the presence of
Christ. No longer in the grave, He had
risen and was alive—alive to walk and talk
with those who would follow Him—alive
to give strength and peace ... and hope.
But after He arose, Christ also gave a com-mand.
He said to His disciples and to us,
"All power is given unto me in heaven and
earth, Go ye, therefore, and teach all na-tions,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost ... and lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world."
Perhaps you have noticed the dark-haired
girl who with her native clothes picturesque
of China and friendly smile makes quite an
addition to Bethel campus.
Virginia C. Lee arrived in the United
States February 27 of this year from Hong
Kong, China.
In 1938 Miss Lee heard a noted evangel-ist
and God revealed through him the
vision of lost souls and that He wanted
her in full time service for His glory. She
was then preparing to be a teacher and
realized the value of education for her
people. However after hearing the evangel-ist
she realized the gospel, which brought
new life and salvation was needed even
more than education.
After waiting five years the chance came
to go into full time Christian service under
Evangelistic China Fellowship and co-work-er
with Pastor Andrew Gih.
She was used of the Lord in her travels,
and stayed from time to time in Shanghai
in Macau, where the gospel first came to
China. Then she went on to Hong Kong.
Formosa saw much of Miss Lee in 1948
and she worked there that year in Evan-gelistic
work. With a pastor and his family
she founded a church in Formosa. The peo-ple
she reached for Christ there were large-ly
refugees who escaped from communist
held inland China. She found these people,
who were in a strange land,, very eager
for the gospel.
She attended Yen Ching University in
Peking China and taught three years in
Bethel Bible Seminary.
Virginia came from a Christian home;
her father was an Episcopalian pastor and
her mother is now in Han Kow communist-held
China.
For fear of hazarding her mother's life,
all correspondence • with kin within inland
China is carried on by writing to a friend
in Hong Kong and having the friend mail
it on to them as from Hong Kong. Their
messages are very brief, usually just say-ing,
"I am well."
In '49 she was given a scholarship from
Northwestern Schools, Minn., and grateful-ly
jumped at the opportunity to study in
America. Plugging through red tape and
regulations, it took her 3 years of prepara-tion
before she arrived in San Francisco.
"What do you think of Bethel?" was the
next question.
"I have been here only a short time,"
was her reply, "But to me, a foreigner, the
chapel services have meant a lot. It takes
a while to adjust, especially with my speak-ing."
She smiled, "perhaps we can't meet
together in everything, but we can meet
together in Christ."
"Bethel emphasizes religious work and
that I like. This together with credit for
social standing ... (What is that American
saying?) kills two birds with one stone."
"After at least two years here I plan
to go back to China, preferably inland
China where I was reared and again take
up Evangelistic, Mission work." Her face
beamed as she mentioned her first love,
mission work.

Dear Mr. Editor;
Through the years many issues
of an ethical nature have been
discussed pro and con here on our
campus. The present issue is a
part of what should be common
Christian courtesy. From many
voices we can hear the declama-tion
against the practice of "buck-ing"
the line at the Dining Hall.
Those who have to hurry to work
or such places should have prior-ity
and go to the head of the line.
Students with visiting guests, par-ents
or other close relatives should
be allowed this privilege also. But
no student, man or woman, should
hold a space in line for his or her
friends and then allow two, three,
or four people to crowd in. If
all or several of the boarding club
were allowed this privilege where
would the student without a friend
at the head of the line be?
May this letter be enough of an
incentive for the men and women
of Bethel to remember to show
common Christian courtesy to their
fellow students so that no other
measures of correction are need-ed.
In the words of an old worn
adage: "A word to the wise is suf-ficient."
A council of men.
Gentlemen:
You have stated your complaint
clearly. We have no opinion other
than to say that we will let your
letter speak for itself to bring its
own results, one way or the other.
Dear Editor:
I don't tink dar is anyting wrong
wit the name "Indian" to repre-sent
our atletic activities. It is a
name dat vee should be proud of
and the first time I heard it I
really taut dat it had a lot of fight
in it. It is much better dan an an-imal's
name like badger, wildcat,
bear, or gopher. I hope vee keep
the name "Indians."
Yours truly,
Eric
(Eric Borgeson—cam-pus
custodian)
Dear Eric:
Glad to have your opinion. No
doubt there are others on campus
that feel the same way you do. We
would like to have more letters
to the editor expressing campus
opinion in this matter. The final
choosing whether or not we will
keep the name "Indians" will no
doubt be up to the administration
but student opinion will influence
the decision we are sure. What:
ever the outcome is, we hope they
give serious thought to the matter
so that if we must drop "Indians"
we will have another nickname
equally representative of a fighting

Missionaries to Receive
Letters from Students
Within the next week a drive to
write letters to all Conference mis-sionaries
now on the fields will get
underway by the Foreign Missions
Fellowship. According to John
Weld, president of the Fellowship,
10 cent air-mail folders will be
sold to students desiring to write
to the missionaries. Over fifty mis-sionaries
are now on the world-wide
fields and it is hoped that
three letters can be written to each
before the school year is over.
Florence Voth, freshman, is the
in charge of the letter-writing pro-ject.
Ten students, representing
the seminary and college classes,
as well as each dormitory will en-list
writers and check with them
to see that the letters are written
on time. The first round of letters
are expected to be completed and
mailed by Friday, April 18.
The above mentioned ten repre-sentatives
of the project will soon
start selling the air-mail letter
forms and will encourage students
to write. Addresses of the mission-aries
will be typed on the letter-forms
before their sale.

For ,German Workers
Part of Bethel student mission-ary
giving is being sent to Ger-many
to help support Christian
workers who are establishing an
active Christian witness in six uni-versities,
some behind - the Iron
Curtain. Some time ago the For-eign
Missions Fellowship voted to
send 100 dollars per month for the
last five months of the school year
for the support of this work. Al-ready,
300 dollars have been sent
to Kenneth Norquist in Germany
who directs the rehabilitation pro-gram
of the Conference work in
Europe. /rinamarie Oesterlie, for-mer
German student on campus,
is now back in Germany and work-ing
with the youth in the univer-sities.
Choir Announces
Spring Tour Plans
Chapel Choir members will take
to the road via Greyhound for two
spring week-end tours during April
and May. The Southern Minnesota
area is the destination for the
April 18-19 trip, the Saturday night
concert scheduled for Ballaton,
Minnesota, home of Warren Nel-son,
a member of the choir, and
Sunday concerts at Lake Sarah in
the morning, Slayton Presbyterian
Church in the afternoon and In-dian
Lake Baptist Church at Wor-thington
in the evening.
In May, the choir will leave for
Chicago and surrounding territory,
The first concert will be at the
Baptist Tabernacle in Kenosha,
Wisconsin Friday, May 9. At the
present time, Saturday is open, and
Sunday, May 10, the singers will
be in Chicago at Central Avenue
Baptist Church in the morning,
Addison Street Baptist Church for
a Chicago Young Peoples' Rally
in the afternoon and Elim Baptist
in the evening. Temple Baptist
Church at Rockford, Illinois will
be the host church for the Mon-day
night`concert, after which the
choir will return.
The exterior was completed sev-eral
weeks ago. The interior is
now beginning to take the shape
of a modern recreation unit. The
bleachers on both sides of the
basketball court are completed and
will seat close to a thousand spec-tators.
A three-foot walk way trav-el
lane has just been poured in
concrete in front of the bleachers.
Soon, a basketball floor of top-grade
maple wood will be laid.
After the court is marked off,
there will be a five-foot margin
of wood flooring between the trav-el
walk-way and the court bound-aries.
Locker rooms for both men and
women's gym classes and athletic
teams are located under the blea-chers
on the west side of the
building. Under the east bleachers
will be space for a small correc-tional
gym and two class rooms.
The class rooms might be tempor-ary
according to Dean Carlson un-til
the school's athletic program is
further developed when they will
be put to use for recreational pur-poses.
In the front of the building
(north) will be located the public
washrooms and the ticket office
and lobby. The addition to the rear
of the building (south) is for the
offices of the gym instructors and
will provide locker rooms and
showers for both the visiting teams
and the game officials.
Building Will Be Dedicated
During Centennial Celebration
In a Clarion interview, Dr. C. Emmanuel Carlson, dean of the col-lege,
announced that the new field-house auditorium building will be
finished right on schedule in the middle of May. No major hold ups on
the project have been made necessary by inclement weather or lack of
building materials.
Dean Carlson further said that no plans will be made for official
use of the building during the remainder of this school year. The build-ing
will be dedicated during the Centennial celebration of the General
Baptist Conference this June.
Until May 30th—a special 10% discount to Bethel Students

Spring Enrollment
According to the dean's office,
twenty-three new students have
registered for the spring quarter.
At least six of these twenty-three
have attended Bethel previously.
The college registrants include:
J. Wesley Anderson, Minneapolis;
Richard Athony, Waukegon, Illin-ois;
Betty Beck, Minneapolis; Tho-mas
G. Buchanan, Carrington, No.
Dakota; Ethel Christensen, Chica-go;
Bernam De Long, Amery, Wis;
J. Wesley Forsline, Cook, Minne-sota;
Virginia Lee, China; Morris
Motley, Ogema, Wisconsin; Sanfred
Ostlund, Tioga, No., Dakota; Ar-thus
Robbins, Minneapolis; Roger
Tippetts, Freeport, Illinois; Allen
Travaille, Ocheyedan, Iowa; Bev-erly
Widen, Minneapolis; and Don-ald
Yerington, Tipton, Iowa.
Also in the college are two spec-ial
students: Mrs. Marilyn Bohne,
Minneapolis, and Mrs. Marian Pet-erson,
St. Paul.
Enrolled in the Seminary are Ar-thur
W. Bayley, Page, No. Dakota;
Alfred Bergsten, Minneapolis; Milo
Coldren, Hillsdale, Michigan; Rob-ert
Goodrich, Minneapolis; Frank
Shindo, Seabrook, New Jersey. Rob-ert
E. Bergerud of Hutchinson,
Minnesota is enrolled as a special
student in the Seminary.
The enrollment has been as high
as 547 students previously this
year. At the present time, however,
it has dropped to approximately
495 as a result of prior cancella-tions.
Girls End Season
With 3 Victories
Playing only six games this sea-son,
the Bethel girls' basketball
team ended the season with three
wins and three losses.
This year the team was coached
by Bob Sandin, a Seminary stud-ent,
who concentrated on control
and team work and brought the
team close to the best seen in the
past few years. Again their tradi-tional
rivals, Northwestern, Bethel
only lost by 6 and 3 points in two
games. Next year it is hoped that
Bethel will be on top.
Three of the games were played
away from the home floor, and
consequently the team had to ad-apt
to playing on a larger floor.
Next year this handicap will be
overcome by the new field house.
High point team member
throughout the season was Jan Mc-
Kinney, with Bev Shade placing
second. Scores for the six games
are as follows:
Bethel 25
Murray Grad. 26
Bethel 26
Northwestern 31
Bethel 49
Macalester 12
Bethel 16
Macalester 7
Bethel 19
Northwestern 22
Bethel 37
Murray Grad. 26
Next year it is hoped that the
season can begin much earlier and
involve a conference league or per-haps
one of the city park leagues,
so that more games will be played.

Their opponents, a permanent
team in the event, and annually
the "sweetheart favorites" of the
crowd, will be the Faculty. The

East-Minnesota
Vie for Title
East meets Minnesota for the
championship in the Intramural
League final basketball game of
the season today. Both teams land-ed
in the finals after mild upsets
of favored teams in the earlier
rounds.
Opening round play found Illin-ois
downing Michigan 54-39, and
Minnesota tripping Twin Cities 65-
51. Iowa trampled West 50-38 and
East drew a bye. In second round
competition, East upset favored
Illinois 52-41; and favored Iowa
was rudely shocked by Minnesota
40-33.
The consolation title was to be
played on Tuesday, between Illin-ois
and Iowa. (Clarion went to
press too early to print the score.)
INDIAN ARROWS
Open Mon. &
Thurs. evenings
Little is known yet as to the possibilities of the season in baseball
and tennis. Coach Del Peterson reports that very few have indicated
an interest in baseball this year, with the result being a doubtful situa-tion
as to competition. Some of the fellows have been practicing getting
ready for any possible season play. These include Mel Nygren, Don
Ericksen, Jim Baxter, Chuck Smith, Stan Lindgren, Dean Stromwall,
Ron Nelson, Fritz Frederickson, George Visel, Bob Franzen, and Gene
Ristow. Several teams to be played will be Bethany of Mankato, Luther
of New Ulm, and Northwestern School of Minneapolis. In tennis, quite
a group of fellows have indicated their interest to Coach Peterson, and
some competition will probably be lined up.

The college gym, to be decorated
with streamers and balloons, will
be the scene for the gay affair
called by the senior class an "all
school carnival."
According to Bernie Hogan, sen-ior
class president, the affair will
be non-profit—an "informal night
of fun for all." Booths will be set
up for participation in various
games of skill. Hotdogs, candy
bars, taffy apples, and pop-corn
will be sold.
There will be no general admis-sion
charge but each activity will
cost a small sum payable in tickets
which will be sold to everyone as

As a highlight for the evening
will be an entertainment program
put on by the senior class and
faculty members.
Committee members for the
event are senior class members
Bernie Hogan, Ruth Martinson,
Lois Redin, Eleanor Johnson, Mar-garet
Fridberg, Rueben Johnson,
Dave Washburn, arid Ronald Nel-son.
BWA Highlights Year
With Formal Banquet
"Springtime" is the theme of the
annual BWA spring formal ban-quet
which will be held Wednes-day,
April 30, at 7:00 p.m. in the
dining hall.
Testimonies by the graduating
sophomores and seniors, a tradi-tional
part of the spring banquet
program, will again highlight the
evening. The new officers will be
installed in an impressive candle-light
service and special music will
be included in the program.
General Chairman of the event
is Carol Bessey with Florence Oh-man,
Florence Jacobsen, and Han-nah
Plaut assisting.
Speech Winners
Will Receive
C ash Awards
Do April showers bring May
flowers? If so, then April awards
bring May rewards. The Bethel
Speech department announces two
speech contests for the near future.
The Dr. Martin Ericsson awards
of fifteen dollars and ten dollars
each will be given to the first and
second place winners in the prose-poetry
reading contest. Selections
may be taken from more than one
poet or author. The length of read-ings
may vary from five to seven
minutes. The script is to be read
and not memorized. It is hoped
that many •students will register
for the contest before April 11.
The Dr. Alford Hanson awards
of twenty-five dollars, fifteen dol-lars
and ten dollars will be given
to the first three winners of the
oratory contest. The topic may be
some aspect of any theme that
has current national significance.
The writing shall be the original
work of the speaker. Ten minutes
speaking time is allowed. To enter
the contest, students should see
Mr. Schultz about their plans be-fore
April 11. The script for the
orations should be ready to file
with the speech department by
April 18.
The date for the preliminary
contests is Thtirsday evening, April
24. The final contest is set for
April 25. Each entrant may re-ceive
instructional guidance from
the speech faculty.
In the card catalogue, in a file
drawer marked Slide Filmstrips,
can be found titles to the films
available. Several films in the
"Life of Joseph" series will por-tray
Joseph's purchase by the Eg-yptians,
his imprisonment, his
dreams come true, his revealing
himself to his brothers, and his
reunion with his family. Of partic-ular
help to church organizations
is the filmstrip entitled "How to
Lead a Discussion." For Christian
training, films such as "Reading
Your Bible," "Rescue of the Per-ishing,"
"Story of the Sunday
School," or "Take Your Family to
Sunday School," will be of help.
Much historical knowledge can be
found in the "Two Thousand Years
Ago" series having separate films
entitled "The Travelers," "Syna-gogue
and Passion," "Day's Work,"
"The School," and "The Home."
Reservations for films can be
made with the clerk in charge
at the check out desk in the lib-rary.
No film projector is furnish-ed
with the films. Regulations for
the use of the films have not been
rigidly set as yet however it is
generally expected that no film
strip be checked out until the day
it is to be used and they must be
returned promptly, the day follow-ing
their use.
According to Russell Baus-tian,
Student Council president,
donations totaling $30.60 were
given by Bethel students in the
recent Red Cross fund raising
campaign. The money was col-lected
by student red-cross rep-resentatives
in the dormatories.
The money has been turned
over to the St. Paul Chapter
of the American Red Cross.
B Club Advises
Nickname Change
Two free tickets to the J. S. Ban-quet
this spring is the award for
the Bethelite who gives the best
suggestion for a new Bethel nick-name.
Last Monday in the chapel the
"B" Club annouced that the school
will change its nickname as well
as colors for the following reasons:
Application for entry into some
Minnesota college athletic confer-ence
will soon be made; a more
appropriate name than "Indians"
is wanted so as to be more repre-sentative
of Bethel activities; the
colors red and white are not dis-tinctive
enough and are quite com-mon
among Minnesota colleges.
All students are asked to partici-pate
in the contest to give Bethel
a new name to represent school
activities. Friday, April 18, 10:30
a.m. is the final time for entries.
Entrants are required to writ
their selections on the blanks pro-vided
them in chapel, and include
their name and the date and time
the entry is made. All entries are
to be put in the ballot box provid-ed
for them in the hall in front of
the chapel. Entry blanks are avail-able
at the ballot box.
Male Chorus Plans
Mich. Tour In May
The Male Chorus will make an
eight day spring tour into Michi-gan
May 3 to 10. The following
itinerary is tentative. Their first
appearance will be at Ashland,
Wisconsin, Saturday night, May 3.
On Sunday, May 4, they sing at
churches at Ironwood, Iron Moun-tain,
and Iron River. Monday they
visit Manistique; Tuesday, Luding-ton;
Wednesday, Cadillac; Thurs-day,
Muskegon; Escanaba, Friday.
A program for the Saturday they
return is yet to be arranged.
Choir Makes Record
For Sale on Tour
Using the library as a recording
studio March 25 and 31, the Chapel
Choir recorded three selections
which will be cut on 12-inch rec-ords
and sold on the choir's Calif-ornia
tour and at the Centennial
Conference in June.
"The Word Believing", Sateren,
is recorded on one side and "Draw
Me Nearer, Nearer My God, to
Thee", W. H. Doane and , Lowell
Mason, a capella arrangement by
Soderstrom, and "The Lord Bless
You and Keep You", Lutkin, are
on the other side of the record.
The oratorio consists of tenor
and bass recitatives and solos,
"Could Ye Not Watch," "He Made
Himself of no Reputation," "King
ever glorious," with the choir
singing the choruses, "Fling Wide
the Gates," "From the Throne"
and also several hymns, "Cross of
Jesus," "God So Loved the World,"
and "Jesus the Crucified."
Composed of students of the col-lege
and seminary and members
of various Twin City Conference
churches, the choir has been prac-ticing
every Monday evening for
about 10 weeks. This is the second
performance by the Oratorio Choir,
the first one being the Christmas
portion of the "Messiah" by Han-del
given in December.
26 Submit Entries
In Tract Contest
Herb Hage, seminary junior, in
charge of the tract contest spon-sored
by the Religious Council, is
happy about the response in the
number of tracts submitted. The
deadline date and time, midnight
last Friday, was too late for him
to stay up, said Herb, but when
he emptied the entry box in the
college building early Saturday
morning, the number of entries
totalled 26. They were all sizes and
descriptions and in general "look-ed
good" Herb continued.
The entries were turned over to
the judges Monday and the results
will be annouced after Easter va-cation.
Judging the entries are Dr.
Virginia Lowell, head of the Eng-lish
Department, Clifford Larson,
assistant professor of religious ed
ucation, and Miss Esther Sabel, as-sistant
professor of Bible. First,
second, and third place winners
will be awarded twenty, ten, and
five dollars respectively.

film strips which are available to any student or faculty member for
use in church work or in campus activities. The films and manuals
with scripts telling how to use them can be checked out without charge
at the check-out desk in a manner similar to that of checking out
books.

Dear Smorgy, my worthy successor and fellow-Indian,
Horrible and terrifying was my dream last night, Smorgy, hence this Special

arrived too late to take part inth e Annual colorful red and white parade from the
Campus down Snelling Avenue to Highland Stadium. Arriving by streetcar from the
Bus Depot, I dug up the usual ticket fee to buy my ticket. "Sorry" said the person
selling tickets, "the price is $11.75 now!" Reluctantly (and broke) I paid her, asking
why the increase. She said, "You'll see" Smorgy, I did see it and it was horrible,
positively awful. I thought I was at the wrong game. I had on my old Bethel sweater,
proudly displaying by "B"-letter, my red and white pom-pom in my hand, an old
one from years ago. I ascended the bleachers, lost, in a maze of uninspiring green
and gold. Searching and bewildered I finally spied Marty the Moth, an old Alumnus
of my Bethel days. He broke the news to me, sitting there on his old Bethel sweater
to hide the old colors. He didn't want to appear old-fashioned, with the old Red and
White. I took mine off too, and threw my pom-pom away, they looked so out of place.
Marty said that the school had changed the colors (at quite an expense I suppose, all
those new uniforms) and also changed the team name to the "Caterpillars". They
looked it. Bethel men in their hideous striped uniforms lay sprawled and squashed
on the field. None of the old Bethel "Indian" fight in that team in their green and
gold. I asked Marty about the $11.75 item. He said it cost quite a bit to make the
change-over so the ticket price was affected. It seemed only last week I got a letter
asking for a new pledge. Smorgy, I was sure glad when I woke up to find that it
was only a nightmare and not the truth. But it sure made me think. Well, I'll close
for now. See you next Homecoming signed "Archie, the Cochroach". Bethel '48.
if ever i become one of the alumni i hope i don't have this experience.
New Chinese Student Praises Bethel
by Gaylie Palmer
Easter Bunny Visits Bethel
by Nancy Schnorr
'Tis early Easter morning at Bethel and as usual, I, the Easter bunny am busily
trying to find places to hide my many brightly, colored eggs. My first stop is room
104 in the Bodien residence. "Ah! I thought, this will be quite easy. With desks and
chairs piled three feet high and inches of dust on just everything, 'twill be simple
as anything to hide my eggs."
The next stop is right next door at Flossie's room and just what could be better
than an egg in each cow-bell. It wasn't quite as easy as I thought though because I
had to remove all of the straw and other things which were acquired on Flossie's last
Gospel Team assignment before I could put the eggs in the bells. In room 103 'twas
quite simple, too. 'Twas quite easy to hide a few small eggs among all of the snake-skins,
pigeon-feet, wolf-heads, clam-shells, etc.
Anne Larson seems to be so blind that I think that I could hide the eggs in the
middle of the floor and she wouldn't see them. After all, anyone who can't even find
a missing mattress certainly wouldn't be able to find a few, small Easter eggs.
After finishing my task in the girls dorm, I advanced to the Edgren residence.
My first stop there was at Deac's room. Among all of the many kinds of flora it was
quite easy to hide an egg or two. I thought perhaps I could hide some of my eggs in
the scrub-pails and other cleaning implements, but on investigating the rooms, I
decided that the eggs might spoil and decay before they were found there.
In closing I just leave this one last word with you. If you don't find any loot from
the Easter Bunny, just do your spring house-cleaning.

Who hath believed our message? and to
whom hath the arm of Jehovah been re-vealed?
For he grew up before him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness; and when
we see him, there is no beauty that we
should desire him.
He was despised, and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows and acquainted with grief:
and as one from whom men hide their
face he was despised; and we esteemed
him not.
... But he was wounded for our transgres-sions,
he was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed.
... He was oppressed, yet when he was
afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a
lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a
sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so
he opened not his mouth.
... Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt
make his soul an offering for sin, he shall
see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and
the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in
his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and
shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of him-self
shall my righteous servant justify
many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with
the great, and he shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because he poured out
his soul unto death, and was numbered
with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin
of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors. ISAIAH 53.
Where's Bethel's ColoySense
by Ann Radunz
The school is contemplating on changing
its colors. I'm all for it, but the shades of
green and gold which hung from the screen
in chapel Monday morning are, in this
writer's opinion, Ghastly.
There are many reasons why I do not
particularly care for these combinations.
In the first place I do not like gold for a
school color. It looks too gaudy, especially
when mixed with a primary or secondary
color such as green is. According to my
knowledge of colors, a shade of purple or
blue is the only color that blends especially
well with gold. Even this depends on the
gold. With a yellow-gold, purple would be
used, and with an orange-gold, blue. How-ever,
I do not advocate either of these
combinations.
Another resentment towards green and
gold is that such horrid combinations may
be put together. A dark green with a bright,
deep gold, is too heavy, too majestic, where-as
a light green wouldn't be very effect-tive.
It has too much yellow in it, which is
what constitutes most gold coloring, and the
yellows, in varying shades and intensities
would undoubtedly conflict.
Just because some institutions seem to
be devoid of a color sense when they choose
their colors doesn't mean that we should
follow in their footsteps.
With a secondary color such as green, I
would recommend a lighter, less intense
hue. To me, green and grey seem to be
ideal colors. What do you think about it?
Have you any better ideas? Let's hear about
them. The school colors are as important
the name, so let's make them good!
em5 of Tbougbt
by President Wingblade
The late William Jennings Bryan was one
of the greatest orators of recent decades.
At the age of thirty-five, "the boy orator
of the Platte" so stirred the Democratic
convention with his "cross of gold" speech
that he was nominated, almost by accla-mation,
for the presidency. Indeed, he was
a presidential candidate three times—and
he served as Secretary of State under Wood-row
Wilson.
But more than that, Mr. Bryan was a
great Christian. He was one who loved the
Word of God. His debate with the infidel
lawyer, Clarence Darrow, rang across the
land.
I heard Mr. Bryan at a University of
Minnesota covocation tell of his trip around
the world and how he brought back from
the pyramids of Egypt a handful of wheat
kernels, that he was told had lain on those
shelves for many centuries. He took them
back to his farm in Nebraska and planted
them in the soil, and they sprouted and
grew and brought manifold fruitage.
Then Mr. Bryan said: "If God could in-still
a life in those little kernels that would
remain through the long centuries and
then in the soil sprout forth and flourish
with rich fruitage—can He not impart to
His own, eternal life that evermore shall
be?"
These days we are reminded in a special
way of the resurrection of Christ and of
the promise of God, to raise up those who
are identified with Him.
When a sinner is born again, there is
a resurrection that takes place in his heart
and life. "The spirit answers to the blood
and tells me I am born of God."
Then, for those who die in the Lord,
there is a promise of the redemption of
the body: "The same spirit which raised
up Jesus from the dead will quicken your
mortal body."
How glorious then to contemplate that
we do have a risen Lord, even in this
world, who lives within our hearts and is
able to make us more than conquerors in
every situation. There—is true freedom and
victory, for "He has led captivity captive."
But the condition is that we be identified
with Him by faith and through the living
Spirit.
From Death Unto Life
by Mary Radunz
The still black night was broken only by
an occasional streak of lightning, followed
by a deafening clap of thunder; a soft
rain fell silently from the starless sky. In
the dim light one could see a hill and on
that hill three crosses. A sudden flash of
lightning outlined them against the sky.
Over the middle cross was a sign ... "This
is Jesus, King of the Jews." Another flash
of lightning illuminated the middle cross
in a pale blue, unearthly light. Nailed to
it was a Man; blood streamed from the
wounds in His hands and feet. Upon His
head was a crown of thorns, cutting into
the flesh; on His face and body was the
spit of a mocking throng, and upon His
shoulders lay the sins of a wicked world.
The sinister black night appeared to be
one of defeat. If so, the defeat was but a
stepping-stone to victory ...
The rays of the morning sun fell pleas-antly
upon the fresh green earth. Some-where
a bird chirped merrily; a light
breeze stirred the bright spring flowers
in the grass. Nearby was a rock-hewn tomb,
with a huge stone rolled to one side of the
door. The tomb was empty. The earth
seemed at peace, and there was a note of
triumph in the air. In the calm of that
morning, one could feel the presence of
Christ. No longer in the grave, He had
risen and was alive—alive to walk and talk
with those who would follow Him—alive
to give strength and peace ... and hope.
But after He arose, Christ also gave a com-mand.
He said to His disciples and to us,
"All power is given unto me in heaven and
earth, Go ye, therefore, and teach all na-tions,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost ... and lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world."
Perhaps you have noticed the dark-haired
girl who with her native clothes picturesque
of China and friendly smile makes quite an
addition to Bethel campus.
Virginia C. Lee arrived in the United
States February 27 of this year from Hong
Kong, China.
In 1938 Miss Lee heard a noted evangel-ist
and God revealed through him the
vision of lost souls and that He wanted
her in full time service for His glory. She
was then preparing to be a teacher and
realized the value of education for her
people. However after hearing the evangel-ist
she realized the gospel, which brought
new life and salvation was needed even
more than education.
After waiting five years the chance came
to go into full time Christian service under
Evangelistic China Fellowship and co-work-er
with Pastor Andrew Gih.
She was used of the Lord in her travels,
and stayed from time to time in Shanghai
in Macau, where the gospel first came to
China. Then she went on to Hong Kong.
Formosa saw much of Miss Lee in 1948
and she worked there that year in Evan-gelistic
work. With a pastor and his family
she founded a church in Formosa. The peo-ple
she reached for Christ there were large-ly
refugees who escaped from communist
held inland China. She found these people,
who were in a strange land,, very eager
for the gospel.
She attended Yen Ching University in
Peking China and taught three years in
Bethel Bible Seminary.
Virginia came from a Christian home;
her father was an Episcopalian pastor and
her mother is now in Han Kow communist-held
China.
For fear of hazarding her mother's life,
all correspondence • with kin within inland
China is carried on by writing to a friend
in Hong Kong and having the friend mail
it on to them as from Hong Kong. Their
messages are very brief, usually just say-ing,
"I am well."
In '49 she was given a scholarship from
Northwestern Schools, Minn., and grateful-ly
jumped at the opportunity to study in
America. Plugging through red tape and
regulations, it took her 3 years of prepara-tion
before she arrived in San Francisco.
"What do you think of Bethel?" was the
next question.
"I have been here only a short time,"
was her reply, "But to me, a foreigner, the
chapel services have meant a lot. It takes
a while to adjust, especially with my speak-ing."
She smiled, "perhaps we can't meet
together in everything, but we can meet
together in Christ."
"Bethel emphasizes religious work and
that I like. This together with credit for
social standing ... (What is that American
saying?) kills two birds with one stone."
"After at least two years here I plan
to go back to China, preferably inland
China where I was reared and again take
up Evangelistic, Mission work." Her face
beamed as she mentioned her first love,
mission work.

Dear Mr. Editor;
Through the years many issues
of an ethical nature have been
discussed pro and con here on our
campus. The present issue is a
part of what should be common
Christian courtesy. From many
voices we can hear the declama-tion
against the practice of "buck-ing"
the line at the Dining Hall.
Those who have to hurry to work
or such places should have prior-ity
and go to the head of the line.
Students with visiting guests, par-ents
or other close relatives should
be allowed this privilege also. But
no student, man or woman, should
hold a space in line for his or her
friends and then allow two, three,
or four people to crowd in. If
all or several of the boarding club
were allowed this privilege where
would the student without a friend
at the head of the line be?
May this letter be enough of an
incentive for the men and women
of Bethel to remember to show
common Christian courtesy to their
fellow students so that no other
measures of correction are need-ed.
In the words of an old worn
adage: "A word to the wise is suf-ficient."
A council of men.
Gentlemen:
You have stated your complaint
clearly. We have no opinion other
than to say that we will let your
letter speak for itself to bring its
own results, one way or the other.
Dear Editor:
I don't tink dar is anyting wrong
wit the name "Indian" to repre-sent
our atletic activities. It is a
name dat vee should be proud of
and the first time I heard it I
really taut dat it had a lot of fight
in it. It is much better dan an an-imal's
name like badger, wildcat,
bear, or gopher. I hope vee keep
the name "Indians."
Yours truly,
Eric
(Eric Borgeson—cam-pus
custodian)
Dear Eric:
Glad to have your opinion. No
doubt there are others on campus
that feel the same way you do. We
would like to have more letters
to the editor expressing campus
opinion in this matter. The final
choosing whether or not we will
keep the name "Indians" will no
doubt be up to the administration
but student opinion will influence
the decision we are sure. What:
ever the outcome is, we hope they
give serious thought to the matter
so that if we must drop "Indians"
we will have another nickname
equally representative of a fighting
team. We understand that the win-ning
name in the current "new
nickname" contest will not neces-sarily
become the new nickname.
It will only be judged as the best
among the entries. Ed.

For ,German Workers
Part of Bethel student mission-ary
giving is being sent to Ger-many
to help support Christian
workers who are establishing an
active Christian witness in six uni-versities,
some behind - the Iron
Curtain. Some time ago the For-eign
Missions Fellowship voted to
send 100 dollars per month for the
last five months of the school year
for the support of this work. Al-ready,
300 dollars have been sent
to Kenneth Norquist in Germany
who directs the rehabilitation pro-gram
of the Conference work in
Europe. /rinamarie Oesterlie, for-mer
German student on campus,

Choir Announces
Spring Tour Plans
Chapel Choir members will take
to the road via Greyhound for two
spring week-end tours during April
and May. The Southern Minnesota
area is the destination for the
April 18-19 trip, the Saturday night
concert scheduled for Ballaton,
Minnesota, home of Warren Nel-son,
a member of the choir, and
Sunday concerts at Lake Sarah in
the morning, Slayton Presbyterian
Church in the afternoon and In-dian
Lake Baptist Church at Wor-thington
in the evening.
In May, the choir will leave for
Chicago and surrounding territory,
The first concert will be at the
Baptist Tabernacle in Kenosha,
Wisconsin Friday, May 9. At the
present time, Saturday is open, and
Sunday, May 10, the singers will
be in Chicago at Central Avenue
Baptist Church in the morning,
Addison Street Baptist Church for
a Chicago Young Peoples' Rally
in the afternoon and Elim Baptist
in the evening. Temple Baptist
Church at Rockford, Illinois will
be the host church for the Mon-day
night`concert, after which the
choir will return.
The exterior was completed sev-eral
weeks ago. The interior is
now beginning to take the shape
of a modern recreation unit. The
bleachers on both sides of the
basketball court are completed and
will seat close to a thousand spec-tators.
A three-foot walk way trav-el
lane has just been poured in
concrete in front of the bleachers.
Soon, a basketball floor of top-grade
maple wood will be laid.
After the court is marked off,
there will be a five-foot margin
of wood flooring between the trav-el
walk-way and the court bound-aries.
Locker rooms for both men and
women's gym classes and athletic
teams are located under the blea-chers
on the west side of the
building. Under the east bleachers
will be space for a small correc-tional
gym and two class rooms.
The class rooms might be tempor-ary
according to Dean Carlson un-til
the school's athletic program is
further developed when they will
be put to use for recreational pur-poses.
In the front of the building
(north) will be located the public
washrooms and the ticket office
and lobby. The addition to the rear
of the building (south) is for the
offices of the gym instructors and
will provide locker rooms and
showers for both the visiting teams
and the game officials.
Building Will Be Dedicated
During Centennial Celebration
In a Clarion interview, Dr. C. Emmanuel Carlson, dean of the col-lege,
announced that the new field-house auditorium building will be
finished right on schedule in the middle of May. No major hold ups on
the project have been made necessary by inclement weather or lack of
building materials.
Dean Carlson further said that no plans will be made for official
use of the building during the remainder of this school year. The build-ing
will be dedicated during the Centennial celebration of the General
Baptist Conference this June.

Spring Enrollment
According to the dean's office,
twenty-three new students have
registered for the spring quarter.
At least six of these twenty-three
have attended Bethel previously.
The college registrants include:
J. Wesley Anderson, Minneapolis;
Richard Athony, Waukegon, Illin-ois;
Betty Beck, Minneapolis; Tho-mas
G. Buchanan, Carrington, No.
Dakota; Ethel Christensen, Chica-go;
Bernam De Long, Amery, Wis;
J. Wesley Forsline, Cook, Minne-sota;
Virginia Lee, China; Morris
Motley, Ogema, Wisconsin; Sanfred
Ostlund, Tioga, No., Dakota; Ar-thus
Robbins, Minneapolis; Roger
Tippetts, Freeport, Illinois; Allen
Travaille, Ocheyedan, Iowa; Bev-erly
Widen, Minneapolis; and Don-ald
Yerington, Tipton, Iowa.
Also in the college are two spec-ial
students: Mrs. Marilyn Bohne,
Minneapolis, and Mrs. Marian Pet-erson,
St. Paul.
Enrolled in the Seminary are Ar-thur
W. Bayley, Page, No. Dakota;
Alfred Bergsten, Minneapolis; Milo
Coldren, Hillsdale, Michigan; Rob-ert
Goodrich, Minneapolis; Frank
Shindo, Seabrook, New Jersey. Rob-ert
E. Bergerud of Hutchinson,
Minnesota is enrolled as a special
student in the Seminary.
The enrollment has been as high
as 547 students previously this
year. At the present time, however,
it has dropped to approximately
495 as a result of prior cancella-tions.
Girls End Season
With 3 Victories
Playing only six games this sea-son,
the Bethel girls' basketball
team ended the season with three
wins and three losses.
This year the team was coached
by Bob Sandin, a Seminary stud-ent,
who concentrated on control
and team work and brought the
team close to the best seen in the
past few years. Again their tradi-tional
rivals, Northwestern, Bethel
only lost by 6 and 3 points in two
games. Next year it is hoped that
Bethel will be on top.
Three of the games were played
away from the home floor, and
consequently the team had to ad-apt
to playing on a larger floor.
Next year this handicap will be
overcome by the new field house.
High point team member
throughout the season was Jan Mc-
Kinney, with Bev Shade placing
second. Scores for the six games
are as follows:
Bethel 25
Murray Grad. 26
Bethel 26
Northwestern 31
Bethel 49
Macalester 12
Bethel 16
Macalester 7
Bethel 19
Northwestern 22
Bethel 37
Murray Grad. 26
Next year it is hoped that the
season can begin much earlier and
involve a conference league or per-haps
one of the city park leagues,
so that more games will be played.

Annual Coffee Cup
Game Set April 21
Featured as the outstanding
novelty sports event of the school
year, the fifth annual Coffee Cup
game will be played Monday, April
21 in the Bethel gym. The Coffee
Cup game, a local color extrava-ganza,
features this year the Fumb-ling
Five, a campus organization
known for their occupation. The
fellows on this team are all from
the dining room dishwashing crew.
Their opponents, a permanent
team in the event, and annually
the "sweetheart favorites" of the
crowd, will be the Faculty. The
professors, led by Eugene Johnson
and Del Peterson, will be seeking
their second victory in five starts
(five years). Campus groups have
defeated them each year with one
exception in 1950.
Arrangements are being complet-ed
for the preliminary game of
t h e double-header. Indications
point to Edgewater Baptist Church
Senior Team, champions in the
Twin City Baptist League, and
Bethel College Intramural All-
Stars.
A nominal admission fee of 35c
per person will be charged. Times
for the games are 6:45 and 8:00—
Monday, April 21, in the Bethel
gym.

East-Minnesota
Vie for Title
East meets Minnesota for the
championship in the Intramural
League final basketball game of
the season today. Both teams land-ed
in the finals after mild upsets
of favored teams in the earlier
rounds.
Opening round play found Illin-ois
downing Michigan 54-39, and
Minnesota tripping Twin Cities 65-
51. Iowa trampled West 50-38 and
East drew a bye. In second round
competition, East upset favored
Illinois 52-41; and favored Iowa
was rudely shocked by Minnesota
40-33.
The consolation title was to be
played on Tuesday, between Illin-ois
and Iowa. (Clarion went to
press too early to print the score.)
INDIAN ARROWS
Open Mon. &
Thurs. evenings
Little is known yet as to the possibilities of the season in baseball
and tennis. Coach Del Peterson reports that very few have indicated
an interest in baseball this year, with the result being a doubtful situa-tion
as to competition. Some of the fellows have been practicing getting
ready for any possible season play. These include Mel Nygren, Don
Ericksen, Jim Baxter, Chuck Smith, Stan Lindgren, Dean Stromwall,
Ron Nelson, Fritz Frederickson, George Visel, Bob Franzen, and Gene
Ristow. Several teams to be played will be Bethany of Mankato, Luther
of New Ulm, and Northwestern School of Minneapolis. In tennis, quite
a group of fellows have indicated their interest to Coach Peterson, and
some competition will probably be lined up.
